The Making of "The Life of Pi"

    The Woodstock Film Festival presents Jean Castelli, longtime associate of director Ang Lee and author of The Making of Life of Pi. Castelli will be on hand for a talk and book-signing event hosted by Pondicherry of Woodstock and in collaboration with The Golden Notebook to benefit The Woodstock Film Festival.

In this new book, Castelli presents the back-story and filmmaking anecdotes from the making of Life of Pi, the 3D film which has received 11 Academy Award nominations and grossed almost 500 million dollars worldwide.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
